Dear Family and
Friends!!!
Well we had another
great week here in Charlotte. We had an amazing
experience this past week. We have investigator named Celeste that has a son on
a mission in Guatemala. He is the only
member in his family. The missionaries have been teaching her for about two
years now. So when I first got here she didn't even believe in God. She just thought god was love. But she
believed in Jesus Christ whole heartedly. The first lesson with her we focused
on how Christ prayed in the New Testament.
Well I will just tell you that it really didn't work.
So the next week
Elder Adams and I were weekly planning and trying to decide what we could teach
her next. My comp said that we should
drop her because she wasn't going anywhere. We decided to pray specifically
what we should teach her. We got the answer to focus on Joseph Smith. The next
lesson we focused of Joseph Smith. During the lesson she had to leave to help
her daughters with some Finnish customs.
Her two girls were going to some convention the next day. At the end of
the lesson she told us that she probably would never get baptized. So I didn't
think the lesson went to well but I decided to ask her to read the Joseph Smith
History and then I told her that I had the movie Joseph Smith: Prophet of the
Restoration that my aunt gave me and I would let her borrow it. Well to make
really long story shorter. She said that she got her answer while reading
Joseph Smith History. She knew that he
was and is a Prophet, that he did see God and that there is a God.
On Wednesday she
asked when she can be baptized. She is now going to get baptized on December 21st. The better news is that her son that is on a
mission is going to be getting married next December 28th 2013. She will be a member for a year and can go to
the temple with them if she is ready. It has been an answer to so many prayers
here. It has been amazing how the spirit works because he turned what we
thought a bad lesson was into what Celeste needed so that she desired to be baptized.
Well I love you all and will talk to you next week. Hope you all are having a
great Christmas season.
Love,
Elder Robson Fletcher
